I just watched a video on importing PSD as smart object. I go to my app on iPad, the option isn’t there. Did Affinity Designer take that option away?

Affinity Photo has the options to import PSD Smart Objects as it can convert them to embedded documents and filters, Affinity Designer can’t.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! I can confirm this is logged as a bug with our developers - as Affinity Designer on desktop offers this feature we believe it should be present on the iPad version also.

I will 'bump' the bug report here with your thread now and we hope to have this resolved in a future update.

I hope this helps, many thanks for your report!

Hi @Dan freeman,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!

The above thread is for Affinity Designer - though it appears you are using Affinity Photo.

Under Preferences (the cog icon at the top right of the home-screen in AP) then General do you have Import PSD text as text and Import PSD Smart Objects where possible ticked?

Once these options are selected, please reopen the PSD file - does this now import correctly for you? :)
